Funktionell substituierte zinnorganische verbindungen v. st]Phosphono- Und phosphonylmethyl-triorganostannane

The synthesis of phosphono- and phosphonylmethyl-triorganostannanes R₃SnCH₂P(O)(OR′)R′′ (R′′  OR′, C₆H₅) via an Arbuzov reaction of R₃SnCH₂I with P(OR′)₃ or C₆H₅P(OR′)₂ (R′′  CH₃, C₂H₅) is described. The new compounds have been studied with regard to their behaviour towards electrophilic (Br₂, HCl, HgBr₂) and nucleophilic (NaOH, LiAlH₄, LiR) agents. Their reaction with chlorophenylphosphines followed by reduction with LiAlH₄ yields the unsymmetrical methylenebis(phosphines) C₆H₅P(R)CH₂PH₂ (R  H, C₆H₅). The title compounds add to the carbonyl group of aldehydes and the CN bond of phenylisocyanate.
